Statistical methods for the modeling and monitoring of time series of counts, proportions and categorical data, as well as for the modeling of continuous-time point processes of epidemic phenomena. The monitoring methods focus on aberration detection in count data time series from public health surveillance of communicable diseases, but applications could just as well originate from environmetrics, reliability engineering, econometrics, or social sciences. The package implements many typical outbreak detection procedures such as the (improved) Farrington algorithm, or the negative binomial GLR-CUSUM method of Hoehle and Paul (2008) <doi:10.1016/j.csda.2008.02.015>. A novel CUSUM approach combining logistic and multinomial logistic modeling is also included. The package contains several real-world data sets, the ability to simulate outbreak data, and to visualize the results of the monitoring in a temporal, spatial or spatio-temporal fashion. A recent overview of the available monitoring procedures is given by Salmon et al. (2016) <doi:10.18637/jss.v070.i10>. For the retrospective analysis of epidemic spread, the package provides three endemic-epidemic modeling frameworks with tools for visualization, likelihood inference, and simulation. hhh4() estimates models for (multivariate) count time series following Paul and Held (2011) <doi:10.1002/sim.4177> and Meyer and Held (2014) <doi:10.1214/14-AOAS743>. twinSIR() models the susceptible-infectious-recovered (SIR) event history of a fixed population, e.g, epidemics across farms or networks, as a multivariate point process as proposed by Hoehle (2009) <doi:10.1002/bimj.200900050>. twinstim() estimates self-exciting point process models for a spatio-temporal point pattern of infective events, e.g., time-stamped geo-referenced surveillance data, as proposed by Meyer et al. (2012) <doi:10.1111/j.1541-0420.2011.01684.x>. A recent overview of the implemented space-time modeling frameworks for epidemic phenomena is given by Meyer et al. (2017) <doi:10.18637/jss.v077.i11>.

Structurally guided sampling (SGS) approaches for airborne laser scanning (ALS; LIDAR). Primary functions provide means to generate data-driven stratifications & methods for allocating samples. Intermediate functions for calculating and extracting important information about input covariates and samples are also included. Processing outcomes are intended to help forest and environmental management practitioners better optimize field sample placement as well as assess and augment existing sample networks in the context of data distributions and conditions. ALS data is the primary intended use case, however any rasterized remote sensing data can be used, enabling data-driven stratifications and sampling approaches.

This package implements various methods for eliciting a probability distribution for a single parameter from an expert or a group of experts. The expert provides a small number of probability judgements, corresponding to points on his or her cumulative distribution function. A range of parametric distributions can then be fitted and displayed, with feedback provided in the form of fitted probabilities and percentiles. For multiple experts, a weighted linear pool can be calculated. Also includes functions for eliciting beliefs about population distributions; eliciting multivariate distributions using a Gaussian copula; eliciting a Dirichlet distribution; eliciting distributions for variance parameters in a random effects meta-analysis model; survival extrapolation. R Shiny apps for most of the methods are included.

This package performs canonical correlation for survey data, including multiple tests of significance for secondary canonical correlations. A key feature of this package is that it incorporates survey data structure directly in a novel test of significance via a sequence of simple linear regression models on the canonical variates. See reference - Cruz-Cano, Cohen, and Mead-Morse (2024) "Canonical Correlation Analysis of Survey data: the SurveyCC R package" The R Journal under review.

This package provides a spatial population can be generated based on spatially varying regression model under the assumption that observations are collected from a uniform two-dimensional grid consist of (m * m) lattice points with unit distance between any two neighbouring points. For method details see Chao, Liu., Chuanhua, Wei. and Yunan, Su. (2018).<DOI:10.1080/10485252.2018.1499907>. This spatially generated data can be used to test different issues related to the statistical analysis of spatial data. This generated spatial data can be utilized in geographically weighted regression analysis for studying the spatially varying relationships among the variables.

Simulate genotypes in SNP (single nucleotide polymorphisms) Matrix as random numbers from an uniform distribution, for diploid organisms (coded by 0, 1, 2), Sikorska et al., (2013) <doi:10.1186/1471-2105-14-166>, or half-sib/full-sib SNP matrix from real or simulated parents SNP data, assuming mendelian segregation. Simulate phenotypic traits for real or simulated SNP data, controlled by a specific number of quantitative trait loci and their effects, sampled from a Normal or an Uniform distributions, assuming a pure additive model. This is useful for testing association and genomic prediction models or for educational purposes.

Interactive visualizations of graphs created with the igraph package using a htmlwidgets wrapper for the sigma.js network visualization v2.4.0 <https://www.sigmajs.org/>, enabling to display several thousands of nodes. While several R packages have been developed to interface sigma.js', all were developed for v1.x.x and none have migrated to v2.4.0 nor are they planning to. This package builds upon the sigmaNet package, and users familiar with it will recognize the similar design approach. Two extensions have been added to the classic sigma.js visualizations by overriding the underlying JavaScript code, enabling to draw a frame around node labels, and to display labels on multiple lines by parsing line breaks. Other additional functionalities that did not require overriding sigma.js code include toggling node visibility when clicked using a node attribute and highlighting specific edges. sigma.js is currently preparing a stable release v3.0.0, and this package plans to update to it when it is available.

This package provides functions for performing stochastic search variable selection (SSVS) for binary and continuous outcomes and visualizing the results. SSVS is a Bayesian variable selection method used to estimate the probability that individual predictors should be included in a regression model. Using MCMC estimation, the method samples thousands of regression models in order to characterize the model uncertainty regarding both the predictor set and the regression parameters. For details see Bainter, McCauley, Wager, and Losin (2020) Improving practices for selecting a subset of important predictors in psychology: An application to predicting pain, Advances in Methods and Practices in Psychological Science 3(1), 66-80 <DOI:10.1177/2515245919885617>.

Classical methods for combining summary data from genome-wide association studies (GWAS) only use marginal genetic effects and power can be compromised in the presence of heterogeneity. subgxe is a R package that implements p-value assisted subset testing for association (pASTA), a method developed by Yu et al. (2019) <doi:10.1159/000496867>. pASTA generalizes association analysis based on subsets by incorporating gene-environment interactions into the testing procedure.

This package implements confidence interval and sample size methods that are especially useful in psychological research. The methods can be applied in 1-group, 2-group, paired-samples, and multiple-group designs and to a variety of parameters including means, medians, proportions, slopes, standardized mean differences, standardized linear contrasts of means, plus several measures of correlation and association. Confidence interval and sample size functions are given for single parameters as well as differences, ratios, and linear contrasts of parameters. The sample size functions can be used to approximate the sample size needed to estimate a parameter or function of parameters with desired confidence interval precision or to perform a variety of hypothesis tests (directional two-sided, equivalence, superiority, noninferiority) with desired power.
